concerns

A note immediately below says that this Joan is identified on a marriage record as having the surname Marshall. Does this mean that she was not a child of John Marstead by Agnes Marshall? Or was she an illegitimate child that did not receive her father's surname? Further research is warranted. disconnected from Agnes Marshall, of Nether Worten & John Marshall of Oxfordshire as parents May 2017

This Joan strongly resembles Joan Wylley, of Thorley. Are they supposed to be the same person? Further research is warranted. profiles merged May 2017
